Our IT dept. has asked us to find out if there is a way to send multiple email addresses to Canvas (for students) via SIS. Does anyone know if is this is possible?
Looking at the docs for SIS Import I don't think so.
SIS Import Format Documentation - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation
Notice that the users.csv definition only has one field for email.

I'm building a tool for my institution that imports grades from another LTI tool into Canvas so instructors can automate late assignment policies not otherwise supported by Canvas. I'm trying to use the LTIv1.3 ID which is readily available on the LTI-side as a link to the student record on Canvas, but I can't find the ID…
